A Great Victory
A Terrible Case of Scrofula
Cured by
Hoods SarsapariIIa

" In the winter of 1879 was attacked with
Scrofula in one of the most aggravating forms.
At one time had no less than thirteen large
assesses over and around my neck and throat,
continually exuding an offensive mass of
bloody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost intolerabie to endure. 1t is impossible
to fully describe my sufferings, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years Of misery, having been treated by
three physicians, | was worse than ever.
Finally, on the recommendation of W. J.
Huntley, druggist, Of Lockport, was induced
TO try Hoods Sarsaparilla. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months, the serofulous eruptions have
entirely ceased, and the assesses have all
disappeared, except the unsightly sears, which
are daily becoming smaller by degrees and
beautifully less ! do not know what it may
nave done for others, but / do know that in
my case, Hoods Sa1saparilla has proved an
effective specific indeed. AS an evidence of
my gratitude l send these facts unsolicited
and am ready to verify the authenticity Of
this cure, by personal correspondence with
any one who doubts it." CHARLES A. ROB-
ERTs, East Wilson, N. Y.

Tho difTu1icn process for making sugar
is very simple. 1t consists, in brief, in
chopping up the cane into small bits, say
slices an eighth of an inch thick, then
stepping the mass in tubs for two or three
hours with hot water. This extracts tho
saccharinc matter much moro effectively
than the ordinary mode of squeezing the
cane between rollers. The warm juice
thus obtained is then heated and. stirred
with the addition of lime, and finally
brought to boil; it is then allowed to
stand wllilc and the clear part ID then

Dairynlaids, Festival.

On Wednesday evening the Pavilion
will be devoted TO another purpose, ant
will be restored to the shape in which i
was first visited by the people of Los
Angeles. So far every entertainment
given in this building has drawn i'm.
mense audiences, and it is expected that
the opening on Wednesday will do the
same. The Dairymaids' Festival has
long been talked about, and for six
nights and matinee following Wednes-
day everybody will have an opportunity
of seeing the maids and lasses in Swiss
costumes, surrounded by Swiss cottages
and belongings. The stage every even.

thing. The illusions are of a novel

THE UNION PACIFIC.
A RumOr That IL Has Bought
Ruttlesnake Island.

Rattlesnake island is very desirable
piece of property located in the Bay of
San Pedro. II belongs to the Domin-
guez heirs and is supposed to be much
desired by number of railroads. When
reported sales of the San Joaquin ranch
grow stale it is in order for some short.
handed newspaper to announce with
JUNCTION that great transcontinentai
line had bought old Rattlesnake. The
Southern Pacific has bought it over
eleven hundred times and the Santa Fe
system has been acquiring it at intervals
of week for the past two years. But
now another company enters the field
and offers to bet that it will buy Rattle.
snake oftener during the next six
months than both the other roads
put together. This is the Union Pacific.
i esterday a rumor foated through the
city that this company had really got
the option of the island, and had paid
$1,000 to Mr.. George Carson, the repre-
sentative of the Dominguez estate, to
bind the bargain. There is just the
slightest possibility that thereis shadow
of truth in this statement, from the fact
that Mr.. Carson said few days ago that
under no circumstances would he sell
the island to the Southern Pacific, but |
he would give rival road very reasona.
BILE terms on it. This action on the part
of the Union Pacific, if true, is in accord
with the statement of the HERALD few
day ago that this matchless road intended
to compete for a share of Southern Cali.
fornia trade, and would extend its branch
known as the Utah Southern to this city.
1t is to be hoped that this news is true,
and If the Union Pacific wishes to add
to its already overfowing Golfers by in
vading our glorious territory, no hand
will be put forth to stop it.

Manners and Customs Practicod in
Polite Society.
In considering the training Of children in
the observances of good society an authority
on such matters is of opinion that "a child
will remember n word spoken in secret that
would pnss hy him unheeded if it is mentioned
in tho presence of Others Faults may be
corrected very easily if taken in this manner.
Tho rubuke is sacred secrecy A public
correction, except it be for fragrant act of
discourtesy, should never be inflicted upon a
child, and it never is in wisely conducted
households" In fashionable city society
"children never appear except on birthdays
or at weddings when there are invited guests

properly bred, their manners will be unob-
trusivc and gentle If u little tempcstuous or
over hilarious, and word of disapproval is
Insufficient, the little rebel is sent off to the
nursery without further remonstrance Ono
such lesson is quite enough for an entire
childhood for most children. This treatment
may seem severe, but it is fact that ono
punishment Of this kind is far less intolcrable
and injurious to q chid's temper than that
constant nagging and rebukng in the pres
encc of visitors which was too frequently en-
dured by both guests and children before eti-
quette forbade it, refusing to tolerate longer
this public olfensc to good taste and decent
manners. Those who have not the wisdom to
accept a disapproval of nagging and scolding
small people before guests because it is coarse
and unwise will be sure to change their fam
lily usagcs in this matter as soon as they know
that in polite society it is pronounced bad,
very bad form"

Chinese Animal Horship,

At recent meeting of the Pekin Oriental
society, Mr.. Owen read a paper on animal
worship among the Chinese He referred to
the worship paid to the fox, weasel, hedge
hog and snake, to Which at Ticntsin is aided
the rat The first four are called the imnor-
tails These deified animals seem to usulp the
entire attention of the people, even to the cx-
clusion of the Buddhist and Taoist gods. DR..
Edklns quoted from the Chinese to prove that
animal worship was unknown in ancient
times, while DIR. DudSeon pointed out that it
was mistake to suppose that animal wo.-
ship was confined to the four animals ,.ien.

Amusing Social Anrctation.

can scarce imagine more amusing social
aflectation than that which excited my at
tcntion the other evening at n small dinner
party given by some intensely swell people
on Commonwealth avenue. 1t was very
formal atiair-ratlicr stiff, indeed, than other
Wisc-bllt one feature of the entertainment
was sufficiently remarkable to merit de-
scrintion. There are TWO children in the fam
lily, Il girl and boy OF 10 and II years rcspcc-
lively. Very naturally, they We're not given
seats at the table, but they were present,
nevertheless. The cherubS stood at either end
of TN" festive board throughout the long re-
past, the boy leaning upon his mothers shoul-
der and the girl reclining gracefully upon
that of her father. The attitude of each was
studed-lo,lbtless the result of fatig,ling
drill--and, at intervals, they joined in the
general conversation, somewhat as follows:
The hostess would introduce the discussion
of Mr.. Browning's poetry, and, after cnch
one of the guests had expressed nn opinion
favorable or otherwise, regarding that gentle
mans verses, she would refer the matter
laughinglyto her "little daughter, "and tile lat
ter, being prmed with an appropriate Speech
would spring the same, with charming mai
vcte, upon the assembled company. OF
course, the infantilc bon mot would elicit
applause wlcrcat the nrtless ingcnle would
hide Il modest blush upon her pnpa's bosom.
Next came the boys turn to utter an i'm
promptu wittirisn-rrccivcd with such cx
pressions as "Doosid cieval, by Jove!" etc.
and SO on, until the ladies took their de-
part,rr, when the kindergarten was retired

relief, letoui. themselves to their cigars
